Living Will

A living will is a legal document that outlines your medical preferences in case you become unable to communicate or make healthcare decisions. It ensures that your wishes regarding life support, resuscitation, and other critical medical treatments are followed, preventing unnecessary stress and confusion for your loved ones during difficult times. Having a living will in place provides clarity and control over your medical care, aligning treatments with your personal beliefs and values.

Without a living will, medical decisions may fall to family members or healthcare providers who may not fully understand your wishes. This document works alongside a healthcare power of attorney to ensure your choices are legally recognized. By planning ahead, you can maintain dignity and autonomy over your medical future while relieving loved ones of the emotional burden of making tough decisions on your behalf.
